The purpose of this paper is to identify the effect of difference between earning accounting and fiscal (DBEAF), and operational cashflow (OPRCF) with level of liabilities (LBLTY) as control variables on earning persistence. Population of this research was food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2019–2021. The used method in this research is multiple linear regression-ordinary least square and hypotheses testing using t-test to test the regression coefficients with level of significance of 5 percent. The results showed that DBEAF, and OPCF have a significant positive effect on the earning persistence. While the LBLTY has an insignificant negative effect on the earning persistence. The results showed that earning persistence increases as DBEAF, and OPRCF of the company improves. While the LBLTY has a insignificant negative effect on earning persistence.
